Quite a fun paper, but very difficult to draw conclusions from. Their headline finding is that they created a map between resting state and "watching a movie".
This is, for better or worse, the kind of research you can only do at institutions which have free fMRI scanning (MIT, Princeton, Harvard, etc.). No behavioural links, only very detailed activation maps that we can't really draw conclusions from. A missed opportunity IMO to spend these kinds of scanning resource on some kind of more narrowly focussed task with some behavioural outcome they can link to brain data.

probably easy to get ethics approval though ;)
